playdates and mommys night outs!

the last two months my kiddos have been very busy growing as people, and i have been very busy making new mommy friends! oh how life has changed since 3 years ago, when we were out every friday night and sleeping till noon on the weekends. but i gotta tell ya, i love it. i really really do. Taking Charge of the buffalo moms rock playgroup may have been the best thing i ever did for myself, i get out of the house more, actually get dressed before noon( most of the time) and the kids are happier, more social and talking more! even mike has a little more pep in his step. here are some pictures from the last month's festivities. including our friday nigth MNO where five of us packed into the back of a cop car :) yea it was a tight squeeze. think 3 mommas one preggo mom and a very nice boy. hahaha oh my stars. what a night it was. oh, and don't forget about the bull riding!!

okay time to find some more debauchery to get into for next month. update soon!

sleep..or the lack of..

hey im doing a friday follow blog hop courtesy of twinhappyjen.blogspot.com

Now im not talking about NOT sleeping, i'm talkin about all the traveling i seem to be doing while im sleeping. My dreams have NEVER been so freekin crazy busy. i wake up and feel as if i haven't had a moments rest. but i vividly remember my wild night of... whatever it was we wre up to. man. some of the shenannagins i get into in my dream world. fighting alien(thanks war of the worlds) or building underground tunnels( thanks whatever showtime movie That was. ha.) or heck. dreaming about storybooks coming to life, that was totally inkheart that i watched. i'm coming to the conclusion, that i must definatly not watch tv or read before bedtime. my brain cant take it. okay time for a catnap. hopefully i wont dream of blogging. ha
After all the Daytime Highschool drama that was sent my way today, i feel as if i may need some wine, and a cookie. definatly a cookie. with extra filling.

its not easy being Head Honcho of a Moms group, we have over 150 active members, and boy. some girls just wanna start shit. seroiusly, this isnt highschool, grow up. put on your big girl panties, and deal with it. its not all about who did what and who said what. if you can't place nice, scoot.

okay. back to my happy place, where there is cookies, oh, and wine. and a massage waiting. byeeee

march for me

so today we've been working on our ideas for the march of dimes walk. everything is slowly falling into place for my fried Dee. She needs a good support group more than ever as her Due date approches. My heart breaks for her and her husband. I got to see Sadie's small beautiful urn yesterday nestled on a shelf with all of her little memories, quite beautiful indeed. i felt special to have her share that with me.

the march of dimes helps raise funds to help keep babies born too soon alive. i think its beautiful that this non for profit exisits to help provide medical treatment and continue to update research, so come on guys. donate, even a buck, because it could be your baby too someday.

Raindrops, Unexplained Happenings, Naptime and Random thoughts.

today the rain is coming down sideways, but it looks beautiful. the trees are reaching up towards the sky to absorb it and use it to bloom.

the boys are sleeping blissfully in their rooms holding their 'babies' and hopefully dreaming sweet dreams. im listening to the same 3 songs over and over again. and wondering what you are thinking about?

the ghost made a visit again today, pulling all of my xmas cards down. i guess they don't like my "lazy" decoratings. yes i know its april. but please don't remind me by giving me a heart attack. for real.

i've been trying hard to decide if when the boys start school they should be seperated or not, for those of you thta have met my kids, you know they are stuck on each other like glue. at this point im thinking it would cause more damage than not. only time will tell.

my heart has a few extra rooms for rent

So it has come to my attention recently, in leiu of playdates and beautiful children, and things i've recently seen on T.V. , that my family is not whole yet. Yes ,Yes, i know mike just had a vasectomy, and we can no longer Physcially have children, but my heart is still not quite full yet. So Mike and i sat down the other night, and talked about Adoption, not yet, no.. the kids are a handfull right now, but when mike is done with nursing school, and the boys are in school themselves, we are both ready to accept another heart, or hearts, into our lives, Who are we to turn our backs on children that need us. We're put on this earth to love, nurture, teach children the right thing to do, but in foster homes, and in orphanages this sit, if they are not wandering the streets, fighting to stay warm.

no, no that just wont do.

so my friends, we Will adopt, we Will make a difference. and We will love them with all of our hearts.
